"Dime Rocket" alert!

I stumbled across a 75 FFFord LTD at my local Auto Recycling Center(what used to be called a junkyard) this afternoon. It's not a pretty car but it IS a nice car. No rot, really clean interior, no dents but lots of surface rust. An old man drove it in and left it because it popped a freeze plug and he was done spending money on it. It's got a 351M in it and at 230 HP I think it could be a really good "Dime Rocket". Look it up and decide for yourself. It would be a heavy bugger though. It makes Q,R,T and U depending on whether you call it an LTD or an LTD landau. In U, this puppy's gotta weigh 4770!!! but big carb, big cam, and big valves. The yard will hold it for a few days for me and I think that I can probably have it for a bit more than scrap. If interested, PM me and I'll check into it more.
